There were a hundred and twenty gathered
In the upper room that day
They were waiting for the promise
Jesus gave as He went away
They knew something strange had happened
When the wind began to blow
When they felt a Heavenly presence
They knew then it was the Holy Ghost

I'm talking about
The power of the Holy Ghost
That Heavenly power
God's children need the most
It's the kind that will comfort you
When you're feeling down
The kind that gives you power
When the devil's around
The soul-feeling, life-changing
Heavenly force called
The power of the Holy Ghost

God knows the world we live in
Is the same that it's always been
So he gives the child of God today
That Spirit they had back then
When the enemy comes against me
And defeat may be so close
That's when I feel the overwhelming
Presence of the Holy Ghost
I'm talking about
The power of the Holy Ghost
That Heavenly power
God's children need the most
It's the kind that will comfort you
When you're feeling down
The kind that gives you power
When the devil's around
The soul-feeling, life-changing
Heavenly force called
The power of the Holy Ghost

It's the kind that will comfort you
When you're feeling down
The kind that gives you power
When the devil's around
The soul-feeling, life-changing
Heavenly force called
The power of the Holy Ghost
